Has to be warm all the time.
Ducks vs. Chickens
This is the island I was stationed on for a year in the Pacific

not suitable but it was warm (hot) all the time.
Yep, looks like the airstrip takes up about half the island, and it's probably not for sale - keep looking.
We have to have good soil for gardening.

garden_mermaid,
The dogs belong to my neighbor. They are rat terriers. When I had my dogs the terriers stayed out of the backyard. Now that I have the birds, they dig a new hole under the fence after I block a hole. The birds are not eaten, just torn up like the dogs are just trying to play and get over zelous and kill the birds.
I finished the big pin and put the ducks and chickens in together. They co-habitat nicely, or at least mine are. They are very leery of me and others but are safe now. The dogs can not get in the pin. The pin sits about a foot of the ground and half of it has a floor and hay for bedding and the other half is 1/2" wire mesh. the dogs can not get through the wire mesh. One of my ducks started laying and I am getting 1 egg a day. When all the birds are laying I expect about 4-5 eggs a day. This is such an exciting time for me.

my neighbor would have woken up to dead dogs that morning
Somebody put out a skinny, and I do mean SKINNY, boxer around here one time. It tore into my chicken yard and killed 5 chickens before it got full. I wanted to shoot it but didn't have the heart to. It didn't know it had done a thing wrong. Didn't even run from me. I tied it up and brought it to the pound. If I could have caught the person who put it out, they'd not have gotten off as easy as the dog did.
